Finalising my list in my traditional before-Swo-awakes slot now.

Thanks to everyone for your participation this round. I'll be releasing the results shortly in the next three posts. Here as usual is a guide to what the figures listed after each film represent, each separated with a slash mark:

1. Total points (50 for each #1 placement, 49 for each #2, etc.)
2. Number of lists the film appeared on (out of 24 submitted). If the film appeared in anyone's top 10, the number of top 10 appearances is also denoted in parentheses.
3. Highest placement of the film on any one list. If more than one person ranked the film this high, this is also denoted in parentheses.
4. Change in position from the 2014 list, with movements of 10 or more highlighted.

So for example, the 309/10(5)/1(x2)/+15 shown for Days of Heaven means that it scored 309 points and appeared on 10 lists (and five top 10s), with two people ranking it as high as #1. The film also moved up 15 positions from its placement on the prior list.

For the list of orphans, only figure #3 is displayed (the highest rank, not the score given).

If anyone would like me to PM them a list of how all of their picks fared in the overall tally (rather than having to scour through all of the results) it's a simple thing for me to do. Just let me know.

I think someone voted for that Sautet film and Lelouch’s Toute une vie and it got mixed up somewhere along the way. I noticed in the original Orphan list and meant to say something

No, two people voted for the Sautet but I somehow listed it as two separate films with the same title but different directors. So that's not an orphan, I'll fix it

Oh well. Now we have do the poll all over again and re-watch the 70s for another two months.

Excuse me but I'd prefer three months as it would be more convenient for me so we must first have a poll to determine that

Welcome to the lists project, where nothing can possib-lie go wrong

Why was my vote for Horse Thief as number one not accepted

That's a '90s film

SNAPSЖOT says otherwise

Martin Scorsese trumps SNAPSЖOT

I've fixed this, by which I mean, I've probably broken it in some other way?

As a final note to close out the decade, if you liked the last episode of The Curse and have not yet seen La cabina, please lock yourself in a box somewhere and watch it

I just caught Sleuth last weekend, I had no idea it had such a following here. Great fun.

Since I hopped in at the last minute, this is something of a provisional list—even more so than usual, I mean. Thanks to swo and the cave divers!

Thanks to swo for the snazzy art and relentless accounting, and thanks to everyone who listed and especially wrote in these and other threads. I jumped in thinking it a fine opportunity to cross things off my watchlist, came out adding to it. This was a great way to see a ton of great things within a certain context and to be reminded how much more there always will be to see.

Wound up with 21 ranked, 20 also-rans, 9 orphans. Not the worst ratio. Apologies to the person who had Coup d'etat; it slid off my revised list. Thanks to the person who saved Man of Marble, the brasher younger sister to All the President's Men. And to the person who made me feel a little less crazed for holding the Kapoor so high.

A bit late to these results, but I’d be happy to use up some of my useless free time to compile these results (top 100 + everything else) into a Letterboxd list today or tomorrow should the participants find that useful for watchlist/browsing reasons.
